[Effects of oxygenated volume expander on hemorrhagic shock]
1First Affiliated Hospital of Hubei Medical College, Wuhan.
Abstract:
36 dogs were divided into 3 groups: group A were administered with non-oxygenated crystalloid solution as a control; group B, with oxygenated crystalloid solution; group C, with oxygenated no 3 perfluorocarbon emulsion (PFC-O2) as volume expander. Result of measurements of serum CPK, LDH, lactic acid, gas analysis, MAP, and dynamic heart function (including pulmonary water index, LVET, LVEF, SV, CO and HR) and ultrastructural observation on lung tissue and skeletal muscles showed that oxygenated crystalloid solution can more quickly revert the hemodynamic changes after hemorrhagic shock, improves oxygen-utilizing ability of the tissue, and therefore possesses a good protective effect of the organ cells.

Respiration and Gaseous Exchange
Respiration involves the exchange of gases, especially oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2), between the alveoli and body cells, a process facilitated by blood circulation. As a result, the cardiovascular system, which involves the...
Regulation of Stroke Volume
Preload refers to the degree of stretch on the heart before it contracts. It's analogous to the stretching of a rubber band; the more it's stretched, the more forcefully it snaps back. This concept is encapsulated in the Frank-Starling law of the...

Blood Pressure: Hypertension and Hypotension
Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure is 120-129/under 80 mm Hg. Hypertension, warranting treatment at 130/80 mm Hg, is often asymptomatic and can lead to severe cardiovascular events, aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease, chronic renal disease, or cardiac...
